CSS Room Remodel coming soon

We are currently at CSS and they are working on a sample room. They plan to completely remodel all rooms from the ground up. Starting with A & B blocks. Everything inside the 4 outer walls were removed. The sample room will be complete next week. I hope someone posts pictures of it.

We are also excited to see the changes! When we were there in September we saw they had gutted a room. We have played the what would we do game trying to decide the best layout for the space. Can't wait to see the finished project! Please someone post a picture or floor plan!

Thanks Irie. Looking forward. Have our first trip to CSS booked for November 2014 after two trips to CN. Per the room descriptions on the site, our room is to be in the A or B block so we hope those are done when we arrive, or not started as we like the current pictures.

Right now there is nothing to show – the room is simply gutted.
I will post a picture once the model room is completed.

Ivonna....can you give us any details about time frame for renovations. How long expected to take? A block expected to be complete by? B block expected to be completed by? A & B block expected to be completed by? Also what exactly will the renovations entail?

Spoke with the GM about this last week after he discussed the renovations at the repeaters dinner. The room being done is a sample to show the owners and refine the remodel project specifics. He mentioned the owners never liked the layout of the beach front suites so change has been coming for some time. The tubs are being taken out and the room has a much more open feel. You'll be able to see the view of the beach/ocean from the bed. A and B block will be completely remodeled, but it will be done in phases and will take time. The room pictured above is expected to be done next week. I was told the resort is fully booked through the high season so no work further construction will be done until April/May. Project will be done in blocks, as an example the bottom 12 rooms in B block, then the bottom 12 rooms in A block, etc.. Expectation is it will take over a year. Aside from A and B blocks, at the repeater dinner it was mentioned the other rooms will be getting new furniture.

Wow.... It looks amazing! Although we will miss the hot tub... We used it once or twice, and it made a nice place to rinse out our clothes after our trash the dress photo shoot.
Irie I, since it is hard to tell from the picture, can you tell us if the sink is still a double sink? and does the bathroom still have the separate vanity area with counter and mirror? Also, since the room is now more open, does the patio/balcony area still have the 2 sets of doors to access it, or has one of those been replaced by a window or something else?

Will this room be open to guests to look at, or will it be available for booking and use?

I'm hoping for the best, but looking at the drain in the shower I appears to be the same type that is causing some problems at CSA and some other resorts that have gone to that type of drain. I hope this is a better version of it that works well consistently.

First thing I thought of when I saw the bathroom pic !!

I am glad to see some work done to the rooms there, but I am sorry to see the dark wood furniture departing (except for the night stands ??). Can't say that yucky color wicker stuff does anything for me -- it certainly doesn't scream "charm".
